Other objects and advantages will ap'pear' as the de-Y seription proceeds.

To the accomplishment of. the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then. comprises the features hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following description setting forth in detail certain illustrative embodiments of the invention, these beins indicative however. of but a few of the varous ways inwhich the principle of the invention y be employed.

Oleflns of less carbon atoms, and;

preferably olefins of normally gaseous character.

are polymerized, as by halide catalysts. for instance preferably boron fluoride applied at high .pressure, e. g. 300 pounds. per square inch. The

polymerized olefin is of oily consistency, the viscosity depending upon the particular. olefin. which is polymerized, and the extent of the. polymerization treatment." Thus, a varied range of material may be provided. The polymerized oleflnis treated with a phosphorus sulphide.

e. g. pentasulphide in amount desired, such as up to 40 per cent, and preferably 20 per cent, at a temperature of zoo-450 E, and preferably 359 F. Thetimeofreactionmaybeupjtotenhours for instance. and preferably is around six hom's for a'particularly satisfactory product. Where desired, the polymer may bedilut'ed with a mineral oil before the treatment with the phosphorus sulphide. Y

The reaction product may be freed from such residue as present finally, by settlins or centrifuginz; and dilution with mineral oil, for instance an equal volume, is advantageous in such action. And where desired a treatment by sulphuric acid or elm-or both. may be appliedaddedmay-befrom'mitoabout lopercentofthe oiLandthemineralo'ilmaybeof acharacter suitable for theusaae in view, and for instance 7 y the equivalent of such-be.
